The authors continue their useful survey over various aspects of the geometry of Minkowski spaces (finite-dimensional Banach spaces). While the first part [Expo. Math. 19, No. 2, 97--142 (2001; Zbl 0984.52004)], written together with \textit{G. Weiß}, was mainly restricted to two-dimensional spaces, this second part is devoted to higher dimensions. After a fairly complete survey over bodies of constant Minkowski width, the following topics are treated: generalized convexity notions of importance for Minkowski spaces (with \(d\)-convexity in the foreground), bisectors and Voronoi diagrams in Minkowski spaces. This thoroughly prepared survey collects more than 300 references.
